Hey this was done from memeroy so it may not be accurate but im sure you get the point. I like the coloring but the actual form and lineart could be inproved. c&c expected.

hey, it's optimus, can't go wrong with some big daddy OP love.

could be the angle (or intentional?), but his head looks a weeee on the small side. but it certainly looks like a nice rendering to me.

hey thanks, i definately made the head small on purpose to make him look bigger. I think to the scale of the bG he is small which isnt good.

Like we should give a crap about the size of the frikkin' head! Back at the dawn of my comics career, one of my editors answered my detail-obsessing fanboy questions with a gruff "I don't give a damn what color Spiderman's underwear is!". If it looks like OP, it IS OP! You'll be a better artist, have more fun and be the envy of your friends the confounder of your enemies if you make it YOUR OP- knowhatimean? What I do care about is the quality of your work- on the whole, really nice! I'll throw you some nitpicks on the basic drawing- the tires and exhaust pipe/guns/whaddafugs are a little on the soft side- make 'em cooler. Look at super-cool REAL tires, for example. The basic pose is good, but the fact that the hips and shoulders are lined up rob it of motion and fluidity- you're mimicking a "standard" comics pose- that's bad. The background? Too cliche- give it some character! Look at reality- much more interesting shtuff is all around us. That, and your vanishing point is way too close- think about where the horizon is! You could get away with this if you were using a wide-angle lens approach, and draw all those "staright" lines as curves. That would give it some bounce! Now, show us what you're made of! :chug:

Hey thanks man, I hope this lasts! good lookin out!

Hands should be blue. Cool though. I agree that the background is a bit generic, but still very good.

Actually had you used the toy for a reference, you didn't, the head would have been that small anyway. It has to flip around into the hole. God, I haven't watched transformers in ages. I want to think the chestplate/windshield tapers a bit like a cowcatcher.
